IMPROVEMENT IN WRINGERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 170,977, dated December 14, 1875; application filed I February 26, 1875. 7'

' ing the water from clothes by passing them between rollers turned by a crank.

My improvement consists in making the rollers self-adjusting, so that any thickness of cloth may be passed between them without requiring any alteration of their position.

Figure 1 is a perspective View of my combined wringer and bench.

O is a cross-bar, sliding up and down in slots S S "cut in the postsAA. Immediately under it, in the slots SS, are blocks D D, (D alone is visible in the drawing, D being concealed by the post A,) which move freely up and down, and rest upon the axleof the upper roller E, which also fits the slot. F is one of a pair of iron rods, which connect the ends of the bar 0 with the ends of the lower crosspiece B. The iron rod Iconnects the crossthe weight W, acting through the combined 7 levers H J, the rod I, the cross-piece B, the rods F F, the cross-bar G, and the blocks D D. The rollers are thus rendered self-adjust- I claim as my invention- The combination of the rollers E M with the blocks D D, the cross-bar O, the rods F F, the cross-piece B, the rod I, the levers H J,

and the weight W, all constructed and operating substantially as and for the purpose described.
